I have been thinking about this also. Is wv enough free-standing to create a
test program for it that simply tries to read (and let wv parse) a word
document? If so, I'd like to input a wv-test program to do just this, or
possibly more appropriately an "AW importer test" that can be given any type
of document AW can import.

I don't know how much of AW we actually can test by small console-mode test
programs, but at least importers should be possible.

I also suggest that we create an ABW document named ReleaseProcedures that
outlines exactly what, and especially in what order, tests we are to run
before a new release. I also think these results should be saved for future
reference (at least 4-6 months).

Am I insane? :-)
